Score One For Farmers
A front-page story in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that a court ordered a utility company to buy the organic grass-fed cattle farm it ruined by driving a powerline through it. Nice to see David beat Goliath every once in a while.
Hmmm. Maybe this strategy can be applied (at least in Minnesota) by organic farmers suffering the double indignity of losing their organic status because of contamination by GMO plants from nearby farms, and then getting sued by Monsanto for illegally using the seed they didn’t want in the first place.
But a far better solution, of course, is to develop projects in ways that don’t threaten organic farms. We need more of those, not less.
I do buy organic veggies and fruit! What else can the average person to do to develop projects in ways that don’t threaten organic farms?
